Do you write full-time now, or do you have another job, too?

By Kathy
Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

I do my best to write full-time, but I don’t earn enough money from book sales to make a full income, so I do other things – related to writing – to make up what I need.

I work as an editor.

I lead writing workshops for adults and for children.

I speak at conferences.

I do author visits at schools and libraries.

I also teach writing classes and have worked as a Writer in Residence for public libraries in East York, Toronto, Kitchener and Vaughan, and for the Writer In Electronic Residence program which linked me via computer to student and professional writers all across Canada.

Now you know why I say I ‘do my best’ to write full-time. It’s not easy to make a living by writing alone!
